Shengxi Huang

Shengxi Huang is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Materials Research Institute at Penn State. Huang earned her Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and computer science at MIT in 2017. Following that, she did postdoctoral research at Stanford University. She obtained her bachelor’s degree with the highest honors at Tsinghua University, China.

Huang is the recipient of multiple awards, including NSF CAREER Award, Johnson & Johnson STEM2D Scholar’s Award (6 awardees worldwide in 6 disciplines), Kavli Fellowship for Nanoscience, Jin Au Kong Award for Best PhD Thesis at MIT, and Ginzton Fellowship at Stanford. Her research interests involve light-matter interactions of quantum materials and nanostructures, the development of new quantum optical platforms and biochemical sensing technologies, and using machine learning to accelerate the characterization and analysis of quantum materials and biosamples.
